Beach nights~

Baby girl flying high with papi :)

Oh my beautiful water baby !

This little monkey just TOOK OFF for the water !

NO fear !

chilin' & eating a bit of sand...ick.

My beautiful bug :) she would be a dolphin

if she could :)

She loved the beach. I couldnt believe how easily she took

to the sand and the water !

Sweet Boo is almost back to normal ... YAY !!

How cute is she is her little bathing suit ?

Living in Florida allows for easy beach access if you wish. I am NOT a person who enjoys being hot and sweaty and full of sand..but give me a beautiful sunset and a cool breeze ? I'm there ! We love heading to the beach as the crowds are going home, and just hanging out, grilling some hot dogs and letting the kids splash around. Perfect evening :)

~The pulmonologist requested baby girl have a chest xray and a "water view" of her sinuses. eek. they were surprised she hadnt had these already. hmmmm, me too. We have to bring the results with us next Wednesday.

~my hubby took the 3 older kids out on the canoe today to the spring. They had a ball splashing and swimming in the COLD water :) baby girl and mama stayed home and took a nap. :)

~my TMJ was acting up like crazy last night and today so I am not feeling my best. Sucks when it hurts every time you move your mouth. Sucking down the ibuprofen tonight.

~so many prayers for all the families that had court today. A bunch of families have been delayed in their adoptions due to their children having been abandoned not relinquished. The Ethiopian government is being pro-active to avoid unethical behaviors which is good, but bad when you are caught in the middle. So many prayers all these families PASSED COURT, and will be traveling very very soon !!!

"...Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls knows that we know, and holds us responsible to ACT..." Proverbs 24:12"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27

~Starfish~

2 friends were walking along the beach. The beach was littered with thousands of starfish that were drying up in the sun.As the 2 friends walked along,one of them bent down and picked up a starfish and carefully tossed it back to the sea. They could hardly walk without the man rescuing a poor starfish. As they continued , the one man asked his friend "why are you throwing these starfish back into the water? It doesnt matter" The friend smiled, As he tossed the starfish back to the sea , he simply said...

" It matters to this one."
